Hello.
I just bought a LG G3 a couple days ago. It's my first android phone that is not a Samsung S series and I really happy with it.
although I have an International debranded version, I fell that thre's still a lot of blotware that many will not use. I have no idea how to do it, so it would be possible, maybe someone to do a debloat script for people that want to keep the stock roms for now! (only a couple of custon one atm anyway!)
Just an idea.
All the best,
J.

Hi Guys
Please forgive me for creating a new thread, this is my very first post and my first day of membership so please go easy on me (I didn't know where else to post this.) I wanted to post a reply in Doky's section for the stock ROM's but I was not allowed to so just wanted to say my say here.
I am a proud Galaxy Y owner and I have been scouting the threads over the last two weeks keeping an eye on the developing roms. I must say that for me the development stages are a bit too early and therefore in my opinion classified as beta (we still don't have a fully working Clockwork Mod yet) so I have been dead scared of messing my beloved S5360 up (bricking it rather.) I am very keen on Mr Creeds work and it looks like further versions are very promising but alas, we are all waiting for CM7 I guess
Anyway, back to the point, I am from South Africa and the network I am on (Vodacom) obviously has the branded version of the ROM but for the life of me I could not work out why the damn thing was sooooo laggy, even though I upgraded to the latest 2.3.6. Also I hated the branded vodafone splash screen at boot up!! Finally after MUCH research, I decided to take the plunge and use Mr Doky's stock "builds", S5360_XXKL3_OXXKL1_XXKL3_by_Doky to be precise, as we all know that you cant flash the stock roms from, eg sammobile as they contain 1 file?!
I am VERY happy to say that I have finally the stock "unbranded" ROM and this little sucker seems to be WAAAAYYYYYY better in terms of speed Even memory seems better!! THANK YOU MR DOKY73!!!! YOU ARE AMAZING.
ps: Where in the hell is the THANKS button everybody keeps going on about???? Either I am blind or going mad because I looked up and down the page to find it but still no sign of the thing!?!
pss: Thanks xda for the AWESOME forum! Android would not be the same if it wasn't for you guys

Dear Sirs,
please forgive me for asking this, but from two days of searching on this forum I still cannot answer myself this.. (seems im not asking myself the right questions)
I have been an i-device user, but with a need for an 8inch tab i also decided its about time to try out some android awesomeness. Luckily as it seems LG offers this perfect size of 8.3" and a possibility of a pure android system. Since im from europe i can only find a stock LG version (non-GPA) which i really do not want. Imho, a crime much like cutting a nice glass of whisky with some coke. So the question is:
Can i buy the LGA version and transform it into a GPA version, without voiding my warranty? (Possibility to revert?) How hard is this to do, and what would be the best way?
Appreciate your time&effort,
Alexander

Conversion from a 500 to a 510 is currently not a known white or black magic incantation. The voodoo involved seems to be a few minor hardware differences that results in no wifi or bluetooth working when people attempt the switch.
Your fellow magic-users do appreciate it if you search first... However the proper search incantation must have eluded you in this case!
(hopefully you found this funny, as it was meant to be, and yes I even answered your question)
The closest you can get with a 500 is picking a rom that stays close to AOSP...
Thanks! A true gentleman and indeed quite amusing, life is better with a grain of satire I realise this must have been discussed before, but as a novice to this world, obviously my quarries had indeed been weak. In my defense though, there is a tonne of misinformation out there on the great webs.
So something like this would be the best bet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/development/rom-android-5-0-lollipop-lrx21m-t2941207
And is there also a bulletproof way to restore to the original LGA state in case one needs to claim warranty?

I apologize for the late reply... I typically run CM12 myself I do not have direct experience with the rom you specified here.
You can restore the tablet to the factory condition. I just did it myself last night. I'll see if I can find the thread that documents the method that I use and add it to this post.
The approach that I use (and just used again last night) is detailed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471370
Those instructions are for the G2 however I have used that app on both my G3 and my V500 to get them back to pure stock. If you have never plugged your tablet into your computer when it is in download mode, it will take a while for the drivers to install. Once they are installed you should not have to type anything in (if the program is prompting you for information you have not got it right yet). The instructions for the factory reset and download mode entry are not the correct key combinations, but otherwise the procedure does work...
Superb! Thanks alot. As you can see from my signature i have gone ahead an got myself one of theese. Im loving it in every way (except he doesnt wanna jive with airplay all to well), but once decluttered, the lg rom is not that bad. Knowing i can restore everything back, calms my mind about trying rooting and stuff. I heard even airplay can work better once rooted..

Hey all, have an att LG Opt G Pro... love the phone but would love to be able to get rid of allot of that att junk I don't really use or want. Was wondering exactly what the advantages are and what all I can do once it is rooted. Where do you get apps to use... I assume they are not on the playstore are they.... apk's for rooted phones, are they up there....
What are the chances of bricking the phone, still have a year on contract so would hate to pay for phone i could not use... maybe should get insurance first lol.... see my deli-ma, would like to get the advice of other att users on the lg g pro and how much fun and better it has made their phone... what kinds of things they have done with it and changed etc etc etc... these kinds of things would be very useful...
currently it was running 20h I think it was, last three on build number. i have not updated since 2014, should I try and update first or does it matter...
any and all advice greatly appreciated... searched around but did not see a sticky with advantages of rooting listed... that would be a great sticky.... this is the beginning of this journey and i appreciate positive feedback... i realize there are many who are experts and probly weery of noobs like me... just remember once, a long, long, time ago, you were noob too lol...
thanks everyone.... i appreciate it...

oh one of biggest questions i forgot, was going to use this one click site to root, is it ok and safe: seemed pretty easy but before I try it I thought I better ask the experts....

I just sold my ZF2 due the fact I didnt like the device all that much... so today I have a mission: find a replacement...
I was thinking about G4, Moto X Style (which is utterly overpriced in my country and I have no idea why) or S6...
To be honest my first choice would be the X Style due the stock android, but here (in Brazil) they are charging way more than the phone worth... its more expansive than S6 and G4 so you guys know what I'm talking about... well, I'm far alway from rich so I need to be careful about how much I spend in a phone....
My question is, what is the state of variety in the "rom department" for G4 right now? Is there a stable CM version for it? I had a G2 and here in Brazil they still didnt upgraded it to Android Lollipop... still stuck in the kitkat after all this time...
I have some concerns about the 6.0 coming for G4 the way they "came" for the G2 in here..
Anyway, thanks and sorry about my english!

Hey everyone.
Been awhile since I've been back here and I wasn't sure about all the new changes.
Couldn't find any information regarding the stock firmwares and if we are allowed to upload them here.
I'll Explain Further:
Stock Samsung firmwares used to be free to download at good speeds from samsung-updates (I think?), but now they go through download services that cost money unless you want to wait 8 hours for a slower download.
There were threads that listed all the stock firmwares bwfore and I was wondering if I could start a thread for downloading all the SM-P600 stock firmwares (and other Note 10.1" 2014 variations)?
Nice to be back and finally have a device I can play with. It's been YEARS :highfive:

Hi h311sdr0id,
i see you are a developer... If you say you wan't to play with that device, does that mean you have intention to build a custom rom or kernel for p600
This would be the best news since 6 month for p600 owners!
Though I'm not a fan of having to wait, it seems a fair comprimise. Typical "freemium" model. Slow is fine for occasional flashers, but the serious ones will want to pay. It costs to host/manage these updates so seems perfectly fair to me...

I am trying to get back into the realm of XDA and get used to how things are (before I had to take a little vacation). The last device I developed on was a Note 3/4..
I had a lot of people pretty pissed off at me for leaving when I did, but it wasn't my choice. So I need to re-clarify a few things with anyone looking for my first post in awhile:
Any insider information I had before this post was made here, is no longer something I can talk about. If you haven't had a chance to look around and read about what happened to me, you should. I am sorry for letting anyone down, but I had to choose my freedom over a device.
Plus, any information I had (including all of the work I had saved on my computers/devices) was taken from me. I have no access to any of it and I will never see it again.

So now that that's out of the way... Yes, I do plan on working on a ROM for the P600.
My work was usually geared towards ODEXED Stock Roms with all the fun stuff available that DEODEX had to offer. Many of the tweaks that were strictly available to DEODEX ROMs back then had to be reverse-coded to work with ODEX ROMs. I spent a lot of time dropping down ROMs from 1.2GB down to 250MB with add-on available. But I ran (and still run) these tiny ROMs on some of my other devices and they work great to this day.
I am working on a new Live AIO Distro (Debian/Ubuntu) for Android Development. That will continue to be my largest project. But I will be working on the P600 exclusively for a while. I just got one as a gift from another DEV.
If there's anything you are interested in specifically, please let me know. I will open a ROM Thread pretty soon to get some more ideas of what people are looking for.

I used to run my ROMs with weekly updates and fixes when they needed them. But for the most part, people didn't have many issues with my ROMs because I would spend a lot of time on them and test them thoroughly before releasing them. But I also kept to only a few devices at a time. Many big developers have many devices they're working on and so it's hard to spend too much time on one or two devices specifically. Only knew a few DEVs that really kept up on devices like hat back in the day.
But, no. I won't need money for anything. I have plenty of resources available to me that won't cost anyone anything. I do this as a hobby.
Thanks for that comprehensive statement. This are great news, because development for p600 was very poor during the last month...
I think the most important things for p600 we would like to have are:
- a stable stock kernel with permissive rights
- development support for cm 13, because many things doesn't work with it like camera, IR Blaster, Screen Mirroring and we have bad battery life. It also isn't compatible with LP 5.1.1 Bootloader (causing sound issues, random reboots etc.)
- A fast and debloatet stock rom with permissive rights, performance and batterylife optimizations
If you would be able to work on only one of these points, you would be a hero for most p600 owners
Any chance you would be willing to work on a sm-607t rom?
Im not cooking since windows mobile, but ill test.
I can also upload a backup of the stock rom to mega so you dont have to wait 8 hrs to download it.
